Feeling overwhelmed by shopping decisions at this time of year? Here’s a line up of products to help shoppers cross off a few items on their lists! Each item is Parent Tested and Parent Approved so buyers can be sure they are getting something that will bring lasting smiles to their loved ones.

PTPA Media has North America’s largest testing community – a credible third party resource for consumers with over 60,000 volunteer testers.“Seeing the PTPA Winner's Seal on a product package or website helps consumers identify products that have been tested and recommended by other consumers. It's like shopping with one’s best friend,” says PTPA Founder and CEO, Sharon Vinderine.

Since 2008, PTPA has evaluated thousands of products and services from leading manufacturers and emerging brands. Because independent parents evaluate these products in their own homes, PTPA winners are chosen based on merit and consumer experience – not on commercial considerations.
